The EX355, new from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments), is a single-output laboratory DC power supply providing an output from 0 to 35V at 0 to 5A.
This feature can improve test performance significantly, since it allows IVI drivers to behave intelligently and perform instrument I/O only when the value of a hardware setting needs modification.
IVI drivers are also "multithreaded safe", allowing users to build advanced multithreaded test programs using the drivers "out of the box", greatly increasing test throughput.
The QL series IVI drivers have built-in instrument simulation capabilities, allowing users to develop large amounts of test code when instruments are not available.
Simulated data can be generated in two different ways: by using instrument-specific drivers in simulation mode or by using advanced class simulation drivers available with the IVI driver toolset.
The IVI drivers are compatible with the complete range of QL-P Series power supplies, covering single- and multi-output units up to 56 V.
GPIB, USB and RS232 interfaces are standard on all models.
